Best Bushcraft Knife? - Mora Garberg Carbon vs Stainless

The Mora Garberg Carbon is a long-awaited version of their full tang design that first debuted in stainless. Both knives feature a sharpened 90° spine, Scandi grind, 3.2 mm (1/8") thick blade and a symmetrical synthetic handle that works well will multiple grips. In this video we take a look at both and try to start a fling and steel fire with the carbon model.
You can buy the stainless version now on Amazon and support this channel: amzn.to/2IUO5yj
The Carbon version will be available soon.

I am swedish. Swedes are proud of Morakniven. That is real quality right there. Every carpenter have a Mora knife hanging on their trousers. We even call any knife "morakniv", like "do you have a morakniv?". Then everybody knows what type of knife that is needed.

[@drewpifer6082]

Great quality ! Great company !

[@UnfinishedSymphony]

I am from Germany and I use a garberg side a few years. I can highly recommend it. And the blade length makes it a legal choice for edc carry in Germany, which was important for me.

[@theluth9046]

I have a Mora Companion that I usually use around here at the house and up here locally in our woods. But when I want to go out here and do some serious bushcrafting I use my Mora Garberg carbon blade. I am an old-school person so I like my carbon over stainless steel. I guess it's just an old people thing. I would rather much have a Garberg then a high price Knife because the high price knives are nowhere near as good as my Garber!

[@andlem]

If you also want to prepare a meal with the knife, I recommend the stainless version, because the carbon version is not neutral, the steel reacts with acids and leaves an aftertaste.

[@Darrenski]

But the stainless also has many more alloys in it, whereas the carbon is very close to pure iron. And iron is harmless to the human body, as is carbon, being how our biology needs it. Our biology doesn't, however need many of the alloys they put in even basic stainless, and some you most definitely do not want to be injesting.

[@michaelprue9024]

I bought the carbon last spring. Over the course of 1 camping season the Mora Garberg Carbon has become my #1 go to knife. So much so I bought a real nice set of sharpening stones and a leather strop with which to sharpen it. I’ve watched several KZbin videos on how to sharpen the scandi grind correctly, and when done correctly, will shave hair no problem. Thank you Sweden.

[@Darrenski]

I'd recommend trying to keep the micro bevel, or kinda stropping it into a small secondary convex cause I've done a zero scandi on a garberg in the past and it started getting dings and rolls much easier.

[@calvinlewis8924]

Brian I really enjoyed your presentation of the Mora Garberg. I have carbon version and I absolutely love this knife. I experienced something really unique when I was unboxing this knife. As I was taking the knife out of the box I grabbed the handle and I knew that this knife was really something special tight then after there.

[@folksurvival]

*right then and there

Great video! I think I just found my next Mora. And another favorite channel! Good job, Brian!

I'm finally getting a garberg carbon!! I have a few mora's and love them and yes Dave Canterbury is the reason we got them YOUR video is great too! I love your perspective and insights on knifes you know your stuff thanks brother!!

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

I just received my first Mora Garberg... This knife is EPIC !!! Build quality is superior. The one thing I really like about this knife that no other knife has is that it has a short drop at the point allowing this knife to be extra strong. Other knife makers tend to make a false blade on top in taper it an inch back. This knife does not. The taper is less than 5 mm, which gives the knife a whole lot of strength up front. For 70 bucks this is the best knife there is...

[@knifeaddict1014]

Just earned another sub. Great info and skills keep up the good work OT.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Wow! The hatred i see from many folks in the knife community regarding our brother Dave is out right SHAMEFUL! Dave is such a nice guy he explains his beliefs and goes out of his way to answer peoples questions. He is a down right good man an has a solid character, the knowledge he shares is so cool and his love for knives and Mora blades is 100% real. Sale out???? Really people! What are ya 12 year olds.....For being outdoors men (and ladies) ya sure sound more like a bunch of teenyboppers a day after prom.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I think it stems from jealousy. At least that is the impression it gives me. I've met Dave several times and I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to call him a friend, but he has always been gracious, humble and friendly to me. The same goes for his lovely wife Iris. They are just good, down to earth people who have worked very hard to take advantage of the opportunities they have.

[@philipstrotherjr8842]

Airik1111 I agree 100% with your statement. I do enjoy your bible reviews as well, good to see we have knife interests in common as well brother. Stay blessed.

[@stevanoutdoor]

+Survival On Purpose. Nobody is saying that Dave (and Iris) are not friendly. I don't know them so I can't tell. Fact is he did lie a lot. On his earlier videos comments are turned off, so he's not open to the public. Dave does refer to Mors in some videos. Now Mors is a real man. What he said in his videos 10 years ago he is still saying today. Dave changes his mind depending on who's singing the cheque. I totally understand that the American public need some American icon and not a Canadian, British or whatever. Go ahead. But we will be calling his bluf regardless.

[@stevanoutdoor]

@Norse Woodsman You can think all you want. You can't guarantee it though. Using that 'I guarantee' is supposed to make your statement stronger but it just shows your statement is weak to start with. But this DCDS movement is rather concerning. Real men don't need some hero.

[@stevanoutdoor]

@Norse Woodman Just checked your channel. 4 subscibers and NO content. ​ You don't know what business I run do you? So that I cannot compete is an assumption when it comes to knowledge right? I still think Dave is a solid instructor and after talking to him he seems like a real nice guy indeed. No problems there. He made some mistakes in the past and he owns them. That's cool with me. So no more talk about that. It's water under the bridge.

[@woodsmanwhitesmith6928]

WOW i am blown away by the venomous hate spewing in the comments for Dave Cantebury ! if you do not want his opinion then don't take it , but why all the hate ? if i was lost in the woods and had to survive for weeks Dave Cantebury is definitely on top of the list of people i would want with me ! i value Dave's opinion the same as i value Brian's . Morakniv makes a good quality knife whether you carry a $17 companion or an $85 Garberg also i see lots of haters talking , but i don't see so many of you out there making your own videos showing off your woods skills !

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Dave would be a good choice. I don't get it either but it is a product of the disconnected social media mindset. People feel OK saying things they would probably never say to someone's face. It is a sad example of societal decay. Probably just good old fashioned envy.

[@OmegaMan999]

I admire Dave very much. No internet BS will change that. I met him in person and he was a great guy.

[@undefeatedgaul3201]

Is it really surprising? He’s lied about literally 2 dozen things. Nobody trusts him as far as they can throw him. It’s a bad look.

[@whengrapespop5728]

David Phillips People just like staying traditional, but there’s close to no difference when it comes to these two knives.

[@punisher288]

@@whengrapespop5728 lol but carbon should be much stronger? And the steel one better weather resistant

[@whengrapespop5728]

@x Used to be like that, or rather that stainless was stiffer, and therefore more likely to chip, while carbon was softer and therefore had more flex which made it stronger in many cases, but nowadays there’s not too much difference as there are both better carbon steels and stainless steels.

[@MrTimstaaa]

Hi Dave. Thank's for the great review. My choice is the stainless. I live in Victoria Australia in the high country. I've had many carbon knives before and although great they are hard to maintain because of the excessive moisture we have here. Always having to remember to oil the knife and constantly cleaning surface rust when you forget to oil it becomes a headache after awhile. So stainless is my choice. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@annaelmo9357]

Thank you! Was looking for a comment like this!

[@perryskitchen4190]

G'day Bryan. Great review. I'm born and bread in Sweden but moved to the "Big island down under" 25 years ago. My first knife was given to me at the age of 5, about to turn 6. My granddad gave it to me and taught me how to use it. It was a Mora Scout with birch handle and natural tan leather sheath. I wish I still had that but sadly it is long gone. I have had NUMEROUS "Moraknivar" (plural) since then. Mostly the cheap tradies tool knife that is used from anything like carving timber, cutting electric wiring, digging and scraping off slag when welding. I am about to buy a Garberg as my previous go to bush knife was stolen with my bug-out/bush craft bag during a burglary recently. I am literally contemplating buying both a stainless and a carbon steel model as I really can't make up my mind hahaha. Anyway, it will possibly come to flipping a coin. Another mentioning of my grand dad; when he taught me how to and how NOT to use a knife, he said "When you cut yourself, you know you have used it the wrong way". He said WHEN, not IF. And 50 years later, I still hear his bloody comment in my head while occasionally running for a band-aid LOL. Heads up, the Mora Knife is pronounced "Mora Kneeve" with sounding "K". Thanks for a cool channel. Cheers. Perry.

[@janisukanen884]

Awesome! Great review Bryan :) Both are really nice knives for sure! And the carbon steel one works with flint too! That was cool! By this far my favorite Moras have been the 2000 and the Bushcraft Survival Black. Garberg has the best qualities of both. And it is a full tang :) My choice would definitely be the carbon steel version with multi mount sheath :) I like the versatility of the sheath! I mostly prefer carbon steel blades so I guess there is no excuse not to get a Garberg anymore ;) Big thumbs up Bryan! Have a great day :)

Great video brother and yes I agree about batoning with a knife,the more my knife can do,the less I carry. Bill

[@ROE1300]

👍 Very good review of these knives. I have the carbon steel version simply because I like carbon steel. Most people who have both say they are about equal with SS being more corrosion resistive and CS having the flint & steel capability. The hype about a full tang knife or a “survival” knife is all marketing propaganda IMHO. I can do any knife task with my Mora Classic 2c that I can do with my Garberg. I convexed the edges on both because that is the best edge geometry, IMHO. I also squared off a section of the spine on the Classic 2 and rounded off all but a section of spine on the Garberg. The Garberg knives are very good knives, but at the end of the day a sharpened piece of steel is a sharpened piece of steel. Some folks still believe the BK2 and Tom Brown Tracker are good knives. 🤷🏻‍♂️ In any event thank you for sharing your views on these knives. Nice to know they passed your world famous balance test. 😄

[@Cooliemasteroz]

Here in Australia it’s difficult to find a knife shop with a good variety of types and brands so you’d be lucky to be able to hold one in the hand that you’re interested in before you buy. I was lucky I bought a Garberg carbon online for my first bushcraft/survival knife and was pleasantly surprised at how good it feels in the hand.

[@buckfoster7346]

Stolen valour..

[@stevanoutdoor]

+Bob Ashmore. I like the videos and channel of Bryan. But it's Bryans choice to put the recommendations or statements of Dave into his videos. So according to Bryan the Garberg is the knife of choice now if Dave was to take only one knife (one tool option). Now is that comment used to make Bryans channel more believable or to make Dave more like a survival hero? I put much more value into Bryan then I will ever in Dave. So I suggest that Bryan gives his opinion about knives and leave it at that. If Fiskars would pay Dave a million Dave would recommend Fiskars. So why mention lying Dave in the video at all?

Gday mate, I said a few years ago that if Mora ever makes a full tang knife it would be game over, now they have it has certainly come true(ish), there is always personal choice and a nice custom knife will have more features you may enjoy but Mora makes an easy to sharpen, very sharp tough knife now its full tang its versatility is set in stone so to speak. I will still make knives because I love it. For any survivalist these knives are just an awesome must have tool for your kit no matter the roll you apply it too. Thanks again for your amazing channel Bryan cheers and regards from over the pond.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@stevanoutdoor]

I grew up with Mora. My 2nd and 3th fixed blade ever are Mora's and I still have them. They are some 40+ years old. They have (or had) full tang models back than also but they were above my budget at that time. I have used a lot of Mora's and I must say that the production quality has improved over the years. Of course Mora is the name of the town where the factory is located and it used to be different knife brands but all made in that same factory so in the end they united using the brand name Mora. I basically stopped buying Mora when they came with these 'bushcraft' knives and in 2011 switched to Hultafors as the cheap basic camp knife. Cheap but very good and I have not seen anything in this video (apart from using the protruding stick tang for the ferro rod) that my less than 10 euro Hultafors GK can't do. I bet the handle of the Hultafors is way tougher also. I like the Mora Garberg as a plastic handle knife with a protruding stick tang (like Fallkniven) but that's beside the point. What I don't like is the price! It's between 85 usd and 125 usd maybe in the USA depending on the sheath? Here they are about the same price in euro. For that price there are so much more options! Even knives without plastic handles and truly full tang and with way better sheaths. I don't trust velcro without a snap button when in the water, mud or snow and that's how the knife/sheath combo is attached to the multi mount part. Just one velcro strap. About Dave Canterbury and the controversie. You mention the fact that Dave Canterbury states that the Garberg would be his knife of choice for a one tool option, so you bring him into the review. When I look at Dave's video's I see him mentioning and showing specs that any one tool option knife should have according to him and the Garberg does not live up to those standards. Of course he made these video's before he got paid by Mora. I'm not saying that DC is not a good woodsman but he is a business man first. He does get challenged but never responds. I even challenged his 5 C's and 10 C's. The way I see it the Americans needed an American role model and chose Dave despite of his lies. I even think that this Mora thing is more of a hype also. Mora wants the American market and hired Dave. They both win and the American public gets stuck with overpriced plastic handled knives. For me the price is a big factor and should be taken into account in any review. I think the Garberg is a 50 dollar knife at most. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5LFZ6SfmJl4nKM

I like it.carbon stays sharper longer.bother will get the job done.. Its a 🏆 for mora knives.i got the stainless one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yep

[@darrenlamb5640]

Actually stainless holds an edge longer.

[@Mike-rx3mn]

Sorry didn't mean to make you doubt yourself, the videos are great, and after seeing it and reading Wally's comment I will buy the Mora Garberg Carbon from Amazon. I was just curious about the number of sparks from the stainless. I need a new field knife to replace my Les Stroud Camillus I damaged while batoning firewood. You both gave me all the answers I was looking for, Thanks.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I don't think the Garberg Carbon is available just yet. Soon, very soon ;-)

[@Dracomies]

Stainless all day. Technology and steel has changed so much where Stainless are just flat-out better.

[@user-pq1ol4wd6d]

Great review So... WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Whichever one you like the most. I prefer the carbon

[@MEME-qe4ze]

the stainless from mora will outlast the carbon hands down. the stainless is much more resistant to rust than the coated carbon. mora 14c or 12c stainless will hold an edge better than the carbon, but may take longer to get that edge...it's worth the extra effort. mora stainless!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Different strokes ...

[@projekctx8646]

I don't find too much difference in sharpening 14c... to carbon.

[@csh6220]

That carbon steel really throws sparks for flint and steel fire. I don't do flint and steel, so I would probably go with stainless steel for easier maintenance. Their SS is very good steel (Sandvik I believe). Thanks for showing it Bryan!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes it is

[@farhad_tulip]

Thanks for your good movie Both knives performed well and were similar So what is the difference between these two models of knives?

[@greekveteran2715]

@@farhad_tulip The stain resistance. The Stainless steel model, doesn't rust, the black one is a bit harder steel but it's not stainless steel and it will rust if you leave it with water on the blade. That's why it has that black coating, to prevent it from rusting. The stainless steel is softer and tougher but will be way more time consuming to sharpen. Everything else,like sheath and handle, are exactly the same. Just keep in mind, that they both come in 3 different sheaths. (Comon plastic, multimount and leather)

Hi, I wanted to know what is your vote for this 14C28N steel for bushcraft / survival knives? Thanks Michele

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hi Michele. I have not even heard of it. ;-)

[@indeedentertainment]

I live in Australia, so lots of coastal and humid environments so I went with the SS. Also requires no maitenance other than sharpening with a dc4.

[@m.r.625]

I was gonna get the stainless Garberg when i came out but I decided to wait til the cost went down, then I heard the carbon was in the works, so I waited a bit longer. So glad I waited; got my carbon Garberg two weeks ago and I love it!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@davidno1minton997]

Cool

[@scotthill6807]

Bryan, thank you for the video. I've had my eye on the Stainless Garberg for a while. Honestly I don't really need another knife but I would like a stronger stainless knife for the field. I've never handled a Garberg though. Is the grip comfortable and is it unlikely that you would slip up and get cut on the blade (Assuming proper knife handling to begin with)?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I had no issues with it. It feels like a Mora. I'm going to use the heck out of this one for a while because I like it and because I want to do more long term follow up stuff.

[@scotthill6807]

Thank you for the reply Mr. Bryan.

[@derekstynes9631]

Carbon is better every time with a Scandi Grind if working with wood , Great Review as usual Bryan thanks .

[@WhiteLongSword7]

Pretty new to knives - would you recommend these over the gerber strongarm or are they different altogether?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Pretty different. But I like them both. The Strongarm is less $$$ but not as “bushcrafty”

[@nordicjeff1]

Another good option in the strongarm and mora is the Gerber prodigy

[@hva19003006]

Your pronunciation on Morakniv is almost perfect...the "k" is not cilent though so you say it like you pronounce the "c" in cutting or California...thank`s for a very nice rewiew...and i am getting the Garberg carbonblack with moly-sheath! Sheers from Sweden

[@Person-uz5lw]

I love batoning with a knife. not only does it work well but i feel it's safer as it's not as heavy and bulky as a hatchet

[@TheSpoovy]

I agree, its also practically impossible to injure yourself batonning, as both hands are occupied and out of the way of the blade.

[@starlingblack814]

David Canterbury said that!? Maybe only if his choice was only a Mora Knife. Don't get me wrong, I love my Moras. Thanks for your videos; they are always good.

[@What_Fred_Said]

I want both of them. My $15 Mora in stainless and carbon steel are the sharpest knives you'll find.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They are good ones

[@doomsdaymachine619]

I respect the quality of that knife but I can't do tacticool. I like the Kellam and Marttinni lumberjack. I have been pleased with the wood handles of those. Plus they are less expensive. I like the wood and leather over black plastics.

Lol truth. They punch way above their weight. I love it over Esee

[@leodegas7731]

Hi, I just ordered a garberg and I was wondering; for your testing, did you use the factory edge/angle or a true scandi with no micro bevel? Thanks for your videos. I watch them a lot because of your opinion. ✌️🦁

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Just the factory edge

[@leodegas7731]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose thank you very much. Now I know I can just use it when I get mine out the box. Dude you do a great job. Thanx for helping out this old man. Now I just have to decide which one to use first, my mora or my BPS. ✌️🦁
